Struck by Lightning (1990)
really sweet movie
I caught this movie today at midday when I was just lazing around on my day off. Middday movies can sometimes be such a nice surprise and this one definitely was! It's got it all drama, laughs, happiness and sadness. It touches on so many issues to do with the handicapped community which many "normal" people wouldn't understand (such as falling in love). It has a really interesting plot also, you watch as the two main characters (who are hilarious) battle to save the workshop which has become a sanctuary to the handicapped people who spend time there. All the characters are really like likable and it is hard to not really hope everything works out for them. I think it's really sad that more people won't get the chance to watch this gem (you would have trouble probably finding this at your local DVD store believe me.) I watched it all the way through and I'm really happy that I did.
Kids (1995)
too bad - spoiler (if you could call it that)
I read a lot about this movie before watching it and I was really excited when I finally got the chance. I'm a huge fan of any movie that's considered kind of rebellious or "different" However this movie just made me sick. It was boring and pointless. The only reason I kept watching was because I wanted to see the main character (foul mouthed and really irritating Telly) get whats coming to him and guess what in the end he doesn't! There isn't even really an end, it just starts and then a whole bunch of characters are flashed before you getting high or drunk and then there's a rape and its over. Nothing is resolved. The main character has sex with a 13 year old girl! Really stupid movie, left me wanting the hour and a half back.
Don't waste your time, you'll hate all the characters (even the poor little "victim")
Music from Another Room (1998)
Awesome!
I loved this movie. It was brilliant, original, unique and more. The story was such a beautiful one. All the actors were amazing in it (especially Jude Law and Jennifer Tilly) it was so nice to see a movie that wasn't all soppy and typical. This movie is in no way a classic love story. It has twists and turns all through it and the occasional moment of humor. Some of the scenes were so touching. Just an all round great feelgood movie - 9/10
